Each of those has a different purpose; even if it were standard gauge, BART would not mix with any of those other options.

Water is best, since the burning battery generates its own oxygen, you can’t smother it. The faster you cool the battery down, the better the chance that the internal structure of the battery can contain the fire to a smaller set of cells.

Tesla’s First Responder manual specifically warns against submerging the vehicle to extinguish a fire, and also notes it may take 6000-8000 gallons of water to extinguish a battery fire.

Mufflers and exhaust pipes don’t rust away and fall off. Tires are more durable.  Belts rarely break.

Calling physics students...

Or...and this might rock your world...Portnoy AND Gawker suck, but Portnoy sucks worse.

Well, four technically thanks to one brief gag, but, we’ll get there.

This is going to have a major impact on EVERY industry in America. A few years ago, shipping 2TEU from China cost $1500.

Leave it running outside your local high school and see.

My 2008 Chevy had this.  My 2016 Toyota does not.
